Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 649 Confused money, Xishan Shanghe doesn't want it

"Oh? Let's hear it." Liu Hongjian suddenly became interested, thinking that these small shareholders might have developed new products.

Among all the industries of Xishan Commercial Cooperation, except for the real estate service industry such as restaurants and various shops, there are various workshops in Xishan and Zhendingfu.

Among them, glass is the most profitable. Of course, glass workshops are no longer just selling rough products as they did in the beginning, but are doing fine processing.

Today's glass workshops not only produce glasses, magnifying glasses, telescopes, glassware, tea sets, and even stationery items such as glass paperweights, glass penholders, and so on.

The craftsmen of Xishan Workshop have tried all the daily utensils that can be replaced by glass, and they are active, because whoever develops a new marketable invention can not only get a huge bonus, but also the level and treatment of the craftsman. will be promoted.

And Zhang Weixian, Mu Tianbo, Liu Kongzhao and others are in charge of fooling around, oh no, it's sales, or marketing.

These three goods are also free, first of all, I replaced all the utensils in my mansion with glass products, such as windows, tea sets, tables and chairs, and I wear a pair of glass glasses to walk around the market every day.

Afterwards, relatives and friends from the Shuntian Mansion would be invited to visit the mansion every now and then, but who could be the friend of the Duke of the Dynasty?
It must be someone with a title, or a relative of the emperor, or a wealthy businessman, or an official of the dynasty. While drinking and chatting, he will teach them how elegant and tasteful glass products are.

In addition, the glass is really beautiful. The things made are crystal clear like crystals. How expensive are crystals? If you put such a set of glass tea sets and other utensils at home, it will indeed look taller.

The three people's marketing methods were very effective. In just half a year, the entire gentry class was proud of glass products, so much so that if the mansion was still covered with window paper, it would be ridiculed by colleagues.

This is only one type of glass workshop of Xishan Shanghe, and there are other in-demand goods such as cement and steel, which are unique to Xishan Shanghe and monopolize the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Yan Yin, my lord! As long as my lord can tell the emperor to hand over the salt produced by Lianghuai Salt Factory to our Xishan merchants for sale, great things can be expected!" Mu Tianbo said excitedly.

The salt and iron monopoly implemented in the Ming Dynasty was actually just a monopoly with a different taste. It was just that the government sold salt to salt merchants, and the salt merchants raised the price and then sold it to the common people.

Just look at how rich the salt merchants in the Lianghuai area are.

Salt is a necessity for the body. Although the people of Ming Dynasty don’t know why people eat salt, they only know that if they don’t eat salt lumps, they will have no energy to work.

Therefore, even if the salt merchants set the price very high, the common people still have to tighten their belts to buy.

Speaking of this, some people will inevitably have doubts. Daming has such a long coastline. In addition to sea salt and inland, there are well salt, Huai salt, pool salt, rock salt, etc. The way to obtain salt is not complicated. The worst is to take sea water to dry , Can it be used flexibly if you come to boil it?

The answer is no. The Ming Dynasty has strict orders that anyone who makes or sells salt privately will be sent to the army at least, or beheaded at worst.

Although the Lianghuai salt merchants were severely punished by the imperial court, the salt workshops opened by the government were still producing salt continuously. Before there were no new forces joining, why didn't Xishan merchants take over this business?
The King of Anguo County must have prestige and prestige in the court, the Xishan Merchants must have strength and strength, and the relationship between the prince and the Holy One is irreversible, and the Xishan Merchant and the Holy One still occupies half of the shares. Is there any reason not to sell this salt to the Xishan Merchants? What about?
Mu Tianbo and the others had actually wanted to talk to Liu Hongjian about this for a long time, but since the death of the Supreme Emperor, Liu Hongjian hardly saw any guests.

Although they are also the top nobles in the dynasty, but the relationship with the Supreme Emperor is not very good, so how can they be so cheeky to find the Holy One?

At that time, they will have to be impeached by the courtiers again, and they will talk nonsense about competing with the people (them). They don't have as much sacred family and prestige as Liu Hongjian.

"Well, this matter really needs to be discussed with the emperor and the cabinet." Liu Hongjian said with a slight frown.

"That's right, that's right, it's time for discussion, huh? Looking for the cabinet?" Zhang Weixian was overjoyed and thought that Liu Hongjian had agreed, but then he realized something was wrong.

Why discuss with the cabinet?How could the cabinet officials agree to distribute such a large benefit to Xishan Commercial Cooperation?They have long been envious of Xishan Shanghe's business!
According to Zhang Weixian's thinking, this matter is a private matter, even if it is not a private matter, it should be handled as a private matter, and you should go directly to the Holy One.

"You may have misunderstood. Yanyin can indeed earn huge profits, but Xishan merchants don't want such heartless money to squeeze the people, and the court shouldn't want it either. The king has gone to the palace to discuss this matter with the cabinet ministers in the past few days. .

You guys, don't worry about it. "Liu Hongjian seemed to stay out of the matter, and turned away the money that was supposed to be at his fingertips.

It's still the same old saying, money is enough, you can't earn it all at all, and in his position, there is nothing to spend money at all.

Of course he doesn't hate money, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, and Xishan Shanghe was not entirely for self-interest when it was established.

In Liu Hongjian's original vision, the Xishan Merchant Cooperation also shouldered the correct direction of the Ming Dynasty's commodity economy, or it was a benchmark.

What business can be done and what business can't be done, take the lead in paying business tax when it is time to pay business tax, and prove to the world's businessmen that under standardization and institutionalization, paying business tax will not only not reduce income, but will be fairer and more income high.

Since the Warring States period to the present, the salt policy has been implemented for 2000 years. The descendants of the Chinese people have to be careful when eating a piece of salt. In a catastrophe, the common people can hardly afford salt. This makes Liu Hongjian feel sad.

Salt is a must. The salt administration was originally intended to increase the court's tax revenue, but now Liu Hongjian has found a new tax revenue direction for Daming. Climb steadily.

Therefore, this salt policy must be changed, completely changed.

Duke Ying and Duke Qian finally left Liu Hongjian's villa with mixed feelings.

He didn't get the dividend, and he probably won't get it in the next year or two. He originally thought of a sure thing, but Liu Hongjian said so righteously that he lost his temper.

As the Dukes of the current dynasty, their awareness is considered high, and they know that when the country is in trouble, they should donate money to support Lao Zhu's family.

But they really couldn't figure it out, now that everything in the imperial court was functioning normally, why did Liu Hongjian do such a thankless thing, which was not human inside and out!

Their thinking was not unreasonable, because Liu Hongjian, who had not been in court for a long time, only put forward his proposal, and all the cabinet ministers jumped up.
